April 1, 1968

RFK in NYC, still campaigning, speaking
in response to Johnson dropping reelection bid:

"Despite all the discord and dispirit, despite all
the extremists and their actions, there remains,
in this country today, an enormous reservoir of
hope and goodwill. Americans want to move
forward; they want to better their communities,
to make this country not only more livable for
all Americans but a shining example for all
the world."

Robert F. Kennedy's spirit has been floating about
in the new book I'm currently writing.
